Top 10 Dinner And Movie Combos

Dinner and movies go together as well as international waters and underground cat fighting rings. Which doesnt really make sense, if you think about it, what with movies being all attention grabbing and stuff, and dinner requiring attention in order to ensure food reaching mouth/not choking to death. But thankfully for both of us, you dont have to think about it, because Sundance pays me to, so one of those darned thinkin headaches averted.

7. THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP and Turkey (dark meat, obviously)

Look, pairing 10 movies with 10 meals is fucking hard, so dont give me shit for this one being obvious. I at least abstained from a red wine mention (although it would be a lovely idea, a Pinot Noir would pair nicely).

6. Brokeback Mountain and Hot Dogs

5. MANHATTAN and Pastrami On Rye

A friend once described this movie by saying I feel like I should be wearing a yamaka while watching this. Look, its a beautiful love story told by an eccentric, left-wing, New Yorky Jew, what else would you eat? If youre going for annoying hipster authenticity, pair with a Dr. Browns celery soda and a shitload of half-sour pickles. But seriously dont do that, unless youre married to whomever youre watching the movie with, they (and I) will hate you and leave you.

4. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and Chopped Salad

As I said, these things are hard to write and this one sounded cute. Plus, look at you. Youve put some pounds on over the years; you dont have the same body you had 10 years ago. Would it kill you to eat a salad?

3. STAR WARS and One Of Those Novelty Astronaut Food Dinners

Apparently astronauts dont really eat those things, and all of our childhoods were shams. Next well find out that Santa Claus DOES exist, our palms WONT grow hair if we dont get out of the bathroom right this minute, and all kids DONT shower with their gym teacher.

1. Annie Hall and Lobster

If you dont get some action after watching ANNIE HALL then youre doing it wrong. And if a topical dinner like lobster doesnt seal the deal, youre doing it wronger. And if you dont know what Im talking about, youre doing it wrongest (just watch the movie).
